FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com

President's Message
Passion To Serve

I have spoken several times this year about finding your passion to serve the community. Last Saturday morning, thanks to Mickey Deaton, I was able to meet a passionate group of volunteers who had worked tirelessly to turn the Foster Care Foundation into a prom dress shop. You never know when volunteering for something will spark your passion. We have plenty of opportunities to get involved so please volunteer for Relays, Laws of Life or Read Across America. If you can't volunteer then attend Hearts for Honduras or the Be THE Voice Toga Party. You might just spark a new passion to serve.

This Week's Speaker
Morris Cowan - United Way

Morris Cowan is a member of the Alpharetta Rotary Club and friends with many members of our club. Morris attempted to retire in 2010 but the call to serve others brought him back to work with the likes of the Atlanta Mission and Salvation Army. For the last 8 years Morris has focused exclusively on the United Way as the Engagement Director for North Fulton County.
